I Am The Future You

For US followers…

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

I’ll never forget that week I binged episodes 1-9 of BBC Sherlock for the first time and the actual tremors I felt from my heteronormative glass shattering at Sherlock’s aborted confession on the tarmac.  “Oh my god oh my god what the fuck oh my god oh no oh no oh no fuck fuck fuck oh NO” I mean my jaw was fucking wrenched open during that scene as everything I had missed in the past eight episodes punched me directly in the face.  It was the most memorable, visceral reaction I have ever had while consuming a piece of entertainment.  That two minutes of television changed my whole fucking life because it exposed me as the fraud that I was, carrying on with a biased system of knowledge i didn’t even know was there in the first place.  It’s like thinking your brain is the perfect automobile, except out of nowhere you realize you’re not in a car at all, you’re on a plane and flying on autopilot.  Holy fuck, what the fuck kind of hallucinatory bullshit is that and why is it on my television.  That scene, my reaction, is the one true reason I stand by the writers, the producers, and their vision for this show, because if what happened to me occurs on a grand scale, history will be made.     

this is the best “the floor is x” meme I’ve seen yet

I think it’s worth mentioning that these are oil paintings, not photoshopped pictures. This guy is amazing, check him out. 

Egg shells are especially good during nesting season. It gives birds in the area to rebuild their calcium and other nutrients lost while laying eggs.

I have these two neighbours and they’re married and they gotta be like in their late 30s and I’m making dinner and I look out the window and they’re running around outside in their pajamas and bare feet with water pistols soaking eachother and laughing so loud it made me realise I’m wasting so much time trying to make relationships perfect when all that’s really needed is someone who will laugh with me for the rest of my life

If you see this do NOT call an exterminator, call a beekeeper to relocate them for you.

Fuck that, I’m calling a SWAT team

No you’re not

Hey man! Bees are extremely important! They are the worlds most efficient and effective pollinators! without bees we wouldn’t have lots of fruit and vegetables and nuts! Like cucumbers, almonds, cherries, and that’s just naming a few. Because these plants can only be pollinated by bees, therefore if there were no bees there would be none of those foods! that’s why you gotta kiss bees and not kill them

Yep! These bees are swarming. They have all gathered there before heading off together to find a new place to build a hive! At this point in a Swarm, the bees can actually just be knocked in to a box and taken to an appropriate Hive, as long as you have the queen. She’s in there somewhere. Honestly during the swarm ball bees are pretty chill. Nothing to get over excited or frightened about.

Bees are the least likely to harm you while they’re swarming like this. At this point, there isn’t a hive or any young for them to protect. Seriously, it’s not worth jacking nature even more just because you don’t wanna get stung (especially when you’re very unlikely to be)

Bees are dying off in an alarming rate and we need to do everything we can to help them. If they’re not around to pollinate our food crops, we are truly screwed.
